INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

Definitely not as bad as I thought, worth every penny.

It is great that you have a vet who will look at birds. None of the vets here would. A couple of them would try but charge you a bunch. I am happy for you! Glad that it didn't end up being something worse

One very expensive vet visit later I am told the boy seems to have a bacterial infection caused by debris. He will be getting antibiotic pills twice a day.

The girl had debris, but no pus so no antibiotics for her.

Hubby will be changing their bedding to get rid of the DE he put down against my advice.

The vet prescribed Clavamox

@TJChickens

That is horrible packing, very similar to how the Phoenix eggs were packed.

Thanks for the update. Clavamox is a good one to try first.

The six Bantam EE eggs set under Jordan, my first time broody, are all veining nicely
I candled all six in less than 20 seconds, just took a peek. I saw three moving!

Just found this thread! I'm in the second week of my first incubation attempt! I have 40 eggs, 3 Swedish Isbars and 5 Cream Legbars, 2 RIR/EE eggs, a few RIR/Golden Comet eggs and the rest are RIR/Black Sex Links. The pure breed eggs are ones I ordered from a breeder off of Ebay. They claimed an above 90% success rate but when I candled my eggs on day 8 none of the ones I ordered were developing. I truly don't believe it's user error or an incubation newbie mishap, because all of the other eggs (32) are developing and have VERY visible veins at this point. A friend that raises chickens suggested I leave them in the incubator since they are tinted blue and green eggs and maybe I just couldn't see the veins. If anyone has incubated Swedish Isbar or Cream Legbar eggs and has any insight on what the issue could be I would greatly appreciate it! Are their eggs perhaps more sensitive to temperature or humidity than other breeds?? My fear is that I wasted my money on a sham and that they weren't even fertile to begin with!

Welcome to our house @macylee

great layers! shipped eggs are tough, you should always open them to check on fertility. FERTILES can be clear at candle too!

Clears at CANDLE are not always infertile!​

post #1825 leave them and just smell them.

I had previously posted some pics of my 6 week olds, but in my mind (scary place), the pictures didn't do them justice. This video seems to represent them in a much better way...
